Firm that went bust owing £650k to HMRC offers staff Las Vegas trip after being bought by ex-owner

Acquisition by Premier Group Recruitment boss Andrew Woosnam appears to be example of phoenixism'

A recruitment business that went bust owing the tax authorities and other creditors almost 3m has promised to send its staff on an all-expenses paid trip to Las Vegas after being repurchased by its former owner for an initial 10,000.

Premier Group Recruitment went into administration in September with debts of 2.9m - including 647,000 owed to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), which had commenced enforcement proceedings against the company.
